A Nonlinear Observer for Remotely Operated Vehicles with Cable Effect in Ocean Currents

A nonlinear observer for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is investigated, and a four-degree-of-freedom nonlinear sliding state observer is designed in this study. An ocean current model and a simplified umbilical cable disturbing force model of ROVs were set up; the simplified cable force model ch...
